Ripple ETFs Surge With XRP ETF Inflows as XRP Hits 7-Month High

Ripple ETFs logged their best week since mid-May, with XRP ETF inflows rebounding sharply as XRP pushed toward a 7-month high. The latest week saw total net inflows of $39.78M, the highest since the period ending May 15, lifting cumulative net inflows to an all-time high around $1.55B. SoSoValue data showed near-zero spot XRP ETF activity earlier in August, with 7 of 11 trading days seeing no flows. Demand returned on Aug 18 (+$5.81M), then accelerated: +$2.35M on Wednesday, +$13.24M on Thursday, and +$18.38M on Friday (the best single day since May 14). By fund, Bitwise’s XRP fund leads ($542.69M cumulative), followed by Canary Capital’s XRPC ($468.12M) and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ ($434.16M). Price action aligned with the institutional bid. XRP held support near $1.00, rallied to about $1.70, then was rejected and pulled back toward $1.50. Analysts stressed that reclaiming the $1.65–$1.70 resistance zone is key to restarting a broader bull run. Earlier, the market also noted ETF-driven momentum after a prior outflow-dominated stretch; product competition tightened as Bitwise’s XRP fund overtook XRPC. The article also points to improving risk sentiment from US policy shifts and a White House crypto summit, which may have helped the rebound. For traders, the core read-through is that Ripple ETFs and XRP ETF inflows are turning into a near-term momentum tailwind, but resistance management around $1.65–$1.70 remains the swing factor for follow-through.
